Title: The Forensic Institute Research Network.
Authors: Sutton, Raul; Jamieson, Allan J.
Abstract: The burgeoning activity in forensic science
in universities continues to attract criticism. A positive aspect is the potential to inject a much-needed boost to research in all forensic practices. Only recently has fingerprinting, for example, been exposed to rigorous scientific examination and, to a great extent, been found wanting as regards its science – probability apparently has no place in fingermark examination. In response to the opportunity The Forensic Institute brought together representatives from more than 40 UK
universities to discuss how this new
resource, academics and students, could
be used to further research in the forensic
sciences. It was envisaged that many
casework-related problems, such as
environmental frequencies of trace
evidence, could be best accomplished by a
lot of small student projects coordinated on
a national and perhaps international level
by a steering group. This steering group in
turn would be part of an integrated
research strategy developed in conjunction
with practitioners. A virtuous cycle of
practice, research, development, and
practice would be the outcome. And so, in
2004, The Forensic Institute Research
Network (FIRN) was born.

Title: Latent fingermark pore area reproducibility.
Authors: Gupta, Abhishek; Buckley, K.A.; Sutton, Raul
Abstract: The study of the reproducibility of friction ridge pore detail in fingermarks is a measure of their usefulness in personal identification. Pore area in latent prints developed using cyanoacrylate and ninhydrin were examined and measured by photomicrography using appropriate software tools. The data were analysed statistically and the results showed that pore area is not reproducible in developed latent prints, using either of the development techniques. The results add further support to the lack of reliability of pore area in personal identification.Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/2436/489532008-01-01T00:00:00Z
